GHCL Textiles Q1 PAT Rises 14%, Expands Fabric Capacity
GHCL Textiles began FY26 on a strong note with the successful commissioning of its new 25,000 spindle facility in June, aimed at supporting its upcoming knitting operations and strengthening vertical integration. The company reported stable financials in Q1 FY26, with revenue at Rs 270 crore, EBITDA at Rs 32 crore (12% margin) and PAT at Rs 14 crore, showing a 14% YoY increase.
Despite a 6% dip in revenue due to lower yarn export volumes, profitability improved, supported by cost efficiency, increased fabric contribution, and strong capacity utilization of 99%. Yarn sales stood at 8.4K MT, while knitted fabric sales jumped to 247 MT, up 91% QoQ.
GHCL Textiles is actively expanding its product mix with value-added yarns now contributing 56% of volumes. With Rs 1,000 crore in committed capex, Rs 500 crore already deployed, the company is scaling up into knitting, weaving, and dyed fabrics. It expects the full benefit of its new spindle unit to reflect in Q3 FY26.
CEO Marshal Sonavane said, “With innovation, sustainability and operational excellence at the core, we are well-positioned to deliver long-term value and capture growth opportunities.”
The India–UK FTA is expected to further benefit the company’s export potential, offering zero-duty access to UK markets. GHCL’s green energy portfolio stands at 62 MW, catering to 72% of its energy needs, with plans to scale up to 75 MW.
The company is targeting long-term EBITDA margins of 15–18% as it moves up the value chain and strengthens its integrated textile platform.
